DC is learning well enough and we are leaning hard into extracurriculars and sports, and enjoying our family life without being haunted by homework. I feel very lucky.

Not sure why folks are still saying this buts it’s not true. Teachers can assign homework. It just needs to be meaningful practice/extension of already taught concepts.

This came from the teachers. I heard it multiple times at Back to School Night.

What you hear at BTSN is the party line. It doesn't mean you received an answer to your question.

I've been hearing this since elementary. I was told that teachers can assign homework for reinforcement but the scores don't count towards their grade. Unless they are finishing up a classwork assignment at home, so not really homework. Is that not true? My 6th grader usually has 20 minutes max of homework and only in math, spanish and sometimes science.
